Implementing a fully distributed actor system on Arduino's is going to be challenging given the limited resources available. I would suggest looking more at an ARM-based platform, such as TI's Launchpad. But realistically, the Pi or a similar platform (Beagleboard, Cubieboard, etc.) might be an easier way to start since you won't have to rely on building your own version of so much of the underlying libraries and such.
